Pray and be patient

Do you regard prayer as simply as a list of requests to God, asking Him to solve our problems and get us out of a sticky situation ? If so, you have missed what He is offering us through prayer !!

He knows we will all have times of need. He invites us to come to Him boldly. It is not a promise of an immediate solution to our problem. It is a promise to find the mercy and the grace... the strength to walk where we need to walk right there in our need.

God answers our crisis prayer right in the moment of need. Other times there is no immediate answer.
He offers grace, giving us strength and wisdom, patience and endurance.
He offers mercy and holds us through the storm.
He helps us in our time of need.

Be patient and continue praying and looking expectantly to receive just what you need to carry you through

Hebrews 4 : 16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need
